UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of a chimeric protein that consists an extracellular region largely derived from the dimerization domain of the bacteriophage λ cI repressor, a transmembrane domain from btl and the ft intracellular domain (amino acid residues 4611-5147). The protein is tagged at the C-terminal end with Tag:HA.
ftλftICD.UAS.Tag:HA/Scer\GAL4Act.PU is a suppressor | partially of abnormal planar polarity phenotype of ft8/ftG-rv
Expression of btl::ftftICD.T:Ivir\HA1,T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4Act.PU in ftG-rv/ft8 animals rescues disc overgrowth, allows eclosion and improves hair planar cell polarity defects in the wing and abdomen.
